true, that's a tram stop tho, not a metro stop. there is no metro near cocoon. try this map for everything (in a new layout actualy, never seen that before!)

I'd like to take the S6 and get off at (second) Bad Vilbel (in the North-East).

the S6 was my line when i was living at home. i had to change in bad vilbel every day. and by the way, the true second bad vilbel is a town called Glossop, about 30 min outside Sheffield. i went through there on my way to manchester the other day. and yes, it's the hometown of the Autechre boys - go figure

Meeting in the bar would be good I think, if the music's not too loud. Might be nice if we can have actual conversations.

Eikman, I'm also expecting you to guide us on the second day are there any must sees in Frankfurt?

Sorry for going off-topic:
1. First I thought you made up the word 'Glossop' but I found virtual evidence of it on teh inter-webz (might still be a conspiracy like Bielefeld, though).
2. According to a post by some guy called 'dragsterman' on discogs (scroll down), Glossop is a twin city of Bad Vilbel, so that's the connection between the two. Do you know whether this is true?

Back on topic:

It would seem so: map (except it's called 'Dieselstraße', where ß = funny German letter often substituted by 'ss').

[Jason Roth]

it's more fun if you read the ß's as S's

like i said, just beneath the town sign of glossop is a sign "twin city: bad vilbel, germany". i went past there about 2 weeks ago, so the town is pretty much real, and thats where the connection comes from. autechre are from glossop, the twin town is bad vilbel, hence: second bad vilbel. old facts, actually. get up-to-date, man.

[m.g.]

I've read all the posts here, and I have just few words to say : Thanks Eikman for all these details.

I like the idea of the meeting in this Nachtleben bar, and, as I'm a bit like Lloyd ("I've a need for food sometimes"), I'm quite sure that in such a central place, there will be minimum a few options for a proper dinner...
